Figure 1 - Medical Images

What a weird title, right? Well it will be explained!

Figure 1 - Medical Images is an app that can be downloaded for both Andriod and iPhone users. This awesome app exposes its viewers to medical images from all over the world! Doctors, nurses, and medical students would post pictures, X-rays, MRIs, CTs, and others on this app to share with other people in the health professions. It is so cool!

What is great is that it is an application of all of the biology I have learned. Just recently, I saw a pathology slide that stained for any abnormalities in the colon. They noticed adenoma in the cecum. It is so cool that their training has allowed them to recognize what is normal in the body so that they can determine was in abnormal. These pathologists know what normal cells look like in the body. What a feat!

I just wanted to share this frequent encounter I am having, =)
